No video of the event yet, sorry!

Intended Audience

Unix hackers, sysadmins, and developers; especially those skeptical of the JVM and node.js. Anyone interested in functional programming, lisps, or data oriented programming.

Audience Takeaways

Basic understanding of Clojure and functional programming

Appreciation of sympathetic philosphies between Unix and Clojure

Introduction to scripting with Clojurescript

Motivation

Clojure is a modern functional, expressive, and data-oriented lisp. However it runs atop the JVM, CLR, and Javascript runtimes. Sometimes seen as bloated, slow, and "something we have to install for developers", this talk aims to show that not only is Clojure(script) fun, performant, and pragmatic, but it also has a lot in common with Unix and can be a useful tool for scripting, server-side devlepment, UI work, and more!
